Vermes is internationally recognized for pioneering biblical scholarship and for the definitive English translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Now he takes readers on a journey through the New Testament to reveal the true historical figure of Jesus hidden beneath the oldest Gospels. How was this Palestinian charismatic transformed by later generations into the heavenly savior elaborated by the Christian Church? Vermes acts as a sensitive, learned and thought-provoking guide. His account presents the fruit of both a lifetime's scholarship and a lifelong quest to understand a solitary giant among Jewish prophets.
